The Klasse Twins + Polycharger=My observations

1badtaco · 12-12-07, 11:49

Warning::::: By no means am I a journalist so bear with my story lol

I just wanted to share my observations.

Process-

Wash With megs nxt shampoo
Clay with mothers clay
Megs #83 lc orange pad
Megs #80 lc orange pad
KAIO mixed with polycharger lc white pad
KSG mixed with polycharger lc red pad

1st of all let me state my first time with the twins was about 2 months ago and i almost gae up on them after that use since I have a white car and its so hard to see any spots that I missed the 1st time buffing. So this time I decided to use the pc for application. Mixing polycharger to aio and ksg is very straight fwd and the included mixing bottled are perfect for a few details. The application was easy with the pc, but what was really surprising was that the removal was a breeze. In my opinion I think it was a combination of using the pc and also charging the ksg. I might have missed like 4 little dime sized spots that I caught in the sun, unlike the first time when I missed several dollar bill sized patches of residue/

My initial observations are that the surface is truly slicker after using the charged twins. Its slicker even compared s100, which leads me to believe that I wont have any problems with sediment from dew or water from the hose staying on my paint. It even makes the condensation on my paint bead up in really really tight tiny beads lol.....

I might be imagining things but I really do notice more shine I even think my flakes pop a little more.

In conclusion I give polycharger

And here's some pics, sorry the car is white so it might not show my results that well.

thanks for the comment...what do you mean on the time saving? Like skip the 83/dacp step?

1badtaco,

Given that KSG must be applied VERY thin, can you desribe how you applied it by machine? That is, how much KSG+polycharger did you put on the pad? What speed did you use? Did you have any problems with applying too much? What/how did you use to buff the KSG?

Thanks!

beachwolverine,

I applied aprox 2 1inch-2inch lines around the edge of the pad and than smeared the product around on the panel on which i was working with the pc turned off. Than I set the pc to speed4 and worked the product into each panel until I felt less resistance . Basically I followed the instructions that came with my klasse concours package for using it with a machine, except I did two lines around the pad instead fo 3. Also, I added the smearing the product on the panels 1st.

No problems applying too much since I worked the pc with no pressure until I felt that the charged ksg had enough coverage or was thin enough

That white paint job looks really wet and deep for white. On a seperate note, how do you like that car? Does it drive good etc? Is it reliable?

Bigpikle · 12-13-07, 12:56

results look great - we see a lot of those Subaru's here but i cant remember ever seeing a white one, and it suits it

thanx for the positive comments... I wish I could get a good pic of the flake but a point and shoot camera and a white base dont make for a good combo to get the flake shot.

Slickery: I love the car its fun to drive and handles pretty good. The stock tires suck so i will be replacing them soon. So far I've lowered it added a cat back exhaust and a drop in washable air filter. Its like a more mature and civil version of the sti. Also check out the new wrx is you dont mind a smaller car. Once I complete my turbo back exhaust and tune the engine I'll be close to STI power but in a plusher package.

I give polycharger the

also. I polycharged Z5pro yesterday to put over my other layers of Z5pro. All I can say is SLICK!!!

The only issue that I have had with polycharge is that is make some products thicker and therefore a little harder to work with. Iused it with Optimum Poli-seal and while it did ans amazing job, removal was beyound easy.

yeah I love the h20 polycharger since everything I read says that the h2o combos have indefinte shelf lives.. I only used like 3/4 of an oz of the aio and maybe a little less of ksg even though i mixed 4 oz

Yeah a little Klasse goes a long way.
